Title |
Building an Essentially Canadian Literature: Rosanna Leprohon’s Historical Romances
|
Abstract |
The Montreal-born Rosanna Eleanor Leprohon (1829-1879), née Mullins, shifted her literary focus after her 1851 marriage to French Canadian Dr. J.I. Leprohon from novels of manners set in England to historical romances about Quebec society. Her best known works are The Manor House of de Villerai (1859-60) and Antoinette de Mirecourt (1864). The former is set in New France during the Seven Years War, and the latter is set in Montreal just after that war. This thesis focuses on Leprohon’s description of history, scenery and society, and speculates on which writers might have influenced her views.
